Well, it's been a while since I posted anything of substance on here beyond sporadic updates, so here we go:

As you, hopefully, can see, most of the track is laid, the one part to be done now is the banking down to the canal wharf, although this requires a little bit of packing to raise the trackbed up slightly above quayside but mainly to make the gradient a little less severe.

still deciding how long the goods shed line ought to extend through the shed,

also need to install droppers and power it up - however I have had my Black 5 make its way up, wrong road (less points to cross since the mechanicals for the rod in tube haven't been made so the points are a bit floppy since I've removed the springs) by holding wires to the rails.

Hope to have a video up of a loco (probably black 5 again) making its way up and back sometime next week, then control pannels to make and wiring to finish.
